Global Leadership Award
If you are an international secondary school student entering an undergraduate program at UOIT on a study permit, and are currently studying outside of Canada, you can apply for UOIT's Global Leadership Award (GLA).
The GLA scholarship is one of UOIT's most prestigious entrance awards. Valued at $72,000 ($18,000 a year for four years), the GLA recognizes international secondary school applicants with strong academic and leadership abilities. Canadian citizens and permanent residents are not eligible for the GLA.
Interested applicants must complete a GLA scholarship application form - https://shared.uoit.ca/shared/department/safa/documents/scholarship-applications/global-leadership-award-application.pdf and submit it no later than Thursday, March 31, 2016, to the UOIT Registrar's office.
Awards of recognition (as of September 2015)
These awards recognize academic accomplishments for recent Canadian secondary school graduates. If you are an international student who studied at an on-shore secondary school in Canada, you may be eligible to receive an award. The following amounts are automatically awarded in your first year based on your best six 4U/4M courses (or equivalent).
- $4,000 - 95 per cent or higher
- $3,000 - 90 to 94.9 per cent
- $2,000 - 85 to 89.9 per cent
